No stimulus for certain people..

Comment made by Robert Reich at a meeting on Jan. 7th.

I am concerned, as I’m sure many of you are, that these jobs not simply go to high-skilled people who are already professionals or to white male construction workers. … I have nothing against white male construction workers. I’m just saying that there are a lot of other people who have needs as well. … Criteria can be set so that the money does go to others, the long term unemployed minorities, women, people who are not necessarily construction workers or high-skilled professionals.

This is just scary to me!

The money from the government to help build and repair our bridges and highways is not to go to white engineers or white construction workers.

Damn right you do! You make sure they give it to you, put it in some brown envelopes and a suitcase, and come on over!

We have about 456 Euro left though, so we just need another 123 billion if you have it in loose change. Just drop some into........

De Irish Government
(Fancy Looking Building with Garda men all around it)
Merrion Square
Dublin 2
Republic of Ireland
EU


We will take Dollars, Euros, (no Pounds), Swiss Francs, or Yen.

Cheers!
